Bukowo is a municipal neighbourhood of Szczecin, Poland situated on the left bank of Oder river, in the northern part of the city, south of the town of Police. As of January 2011 it had a population of 3,720. [1]
The area became part of the emerging Polish state under its first ruler Mieszko I around 967, [2] [3] and following Poland's fragmentation it formed part of the Duchy of Pomerania. During the Thirty Years' War, the settlement fell to the Swedish Empire, but stayed part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. Later on, it passed to Prussia, and stayed part of Germany, within which it was known as Buchholz.
